And we're black. Thank you so much for tuning to another installment of Clock My Timers. We're clocking in to me taking a tour of black history at the UN. And I'm thrilled. This is for an organization called MyPad, which is most influential people of the African Diaspora

Yes, the three survivors and the President of Ghana were honored for their work at the Black History Makers Award. So this is a summary of what we do. And our idea is, in the next ten years, we should cause a movement of information between Africa and Americas. There should be a movement of trade. We want to see brands owned by black people traverse these two continents

And you're from Brussels, and you work with all these European nations. Exactly. And, you know, one country which stood out for me is France, which know the country of liberty and fraternity and those types of things, and yet they couldn't be bothered to fund this part of this. And we also have to mention that France, in terms of their legacy in the slave trade, it's possibly in a colonial. There's Haiti

Okay, well, that was doing my research, so do my doctoral research. I was doing something for organizations, so it wasn't something I planned to do originally, but I had to jump on that foundation because AI was the tool that was going to help me with a predictability requirement

When they see your photo, they will see your hair and it's assemblage combine scalp along with the sunglasses of a gray gradient that you got going on there. You talk big. You talk big. I'm also into what I call fashion. I am into the fashion. So there's a lot of fashion here. And now the leg is crossed. I can see even more. Look at that. Okay, there's a lot going on here. And so getting back to AI

Regardless of the fact that it's French speaking and the US. It's English speaking. They've created that. It's like a very regular route. You get to see that. And it's also very than. I don't think it's more than 5 hours, 7 hours, right. And then Ghana, he said was even longer. Was like, nine. Yeah, that's why the countries were fighting. Exactly

Was one, as we know. Well, the Americas was one, as we know. And then the other point, which we got to learn about, which I knew before, but which was reinforced, was the Arabian community, the Horn of Africa. So the northern part of Africa, you could actually tie that back to history, where I used to ask myself, why did we have the Arabs stop at some point? So you had all of them

The white thing and we're black. So we took a little time to canoodle about the the legendary Senegalese mosquitoes and how the cold air does not disable their sonar and their mission accomplished to make us miserable with every bite of our blood, sucked with their little whatever the hell that thing is that they do. Oh, God. But we're black. And you were launching into the last bits of your diatribe of your 95 theses on slavery and colonialism and the way forward. Yeah. Thanks a lot

This is where I feel like I'm feeling myself up, feeling my pop up. So it's so much stronger. This is what makes me lose sleep at night. This is what makes me daydream. It's a big thing for me. And so with all of that. I decided to go into this to put down my next book, to have so many things out there in my mind. I want to put them bit by bit

We're all excited with all this, but now we need to market ourselves, and we need to be strategic, because that's what, unfortunately, lots of other races do better than us, which we really need to do. So we have all the knowledge, we have all the energy. We're super young. We're vibrant. We are freaking awesome. We are resilient. But now we need to be strategic. It's all about the art of war
